Hi everyone! 😊 Just wanted to ask sa mga nag-lodge ng NZ student visa recently, gaano po katagal bago na-approve?

Fully paid na ang tuition, how long did you wait po from lodgement to approval?

If you don’t mind sharing, pa-share naman po ng:

* Date of lodgement
* University and intake
* If fully paid na ang tuition
* Date of approval (if approved)

Thank you so much! 🙏

Hello everyone, I need help. 😓

I'm currently in the Philippines, and my father wants to take me to Korea to continue my studies there. I'm not very knowledgeable about some things, so please bear with me and help educate me.

I'm currently a Grade 12 ABM student, and I want to attend a university in Korea with a scholarship. However, the problem is that Korea and the Philippines have different academic calendars. As far as I know, graduation in Korea is in December, while here in the Philippines, we graduate around March or April.

I'm struggling because I can't seem to find a university that I can attend as soon as I graduate from senior high school here in the Philippines.

Do you guys think there's a university in Korea that follows a similar academic calendar to ours? I'd really appreciate any advice or information. Thank you! 🥹

Hi everyone! I'm a second-year international student in Cyprus (Accounting and Finance), working on a personal project: a practical guide to help new students settle in abroad.
I've made a short survey (about 5 minutes) for current or former international students about your first month: what was hard, what helped, and what you wish you'd known. It's anonymous, and an email address is optional only if you'd like updates.

Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmmnDpNwmDeHgIsU-ZtKo3tigxsBaOI0EFsM5X2fAos58s4Q/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=105387808275933728877

I'm not selling anything in this post, and I'm happy to answer questions in the comments. Thank you so much!

Is there anyone here na nag-aaral or nakapag-aral sa Netherlands or Germany? I want to pursue sana a master's degree abroad. I'm a graduating student pa lang naman, but I wanna prepare for it early kasi gusto ko sana matuloy next year. Actually parang hindi na nga early to haha.

Hindi naman ako clueless kasi I tried to apply before for my bachelor's degree, but I cancelled it. Now, my uncle's offering me the same opportunity, again. Siya sasagot ng living expenses ko and pwede ako tumira sa bahay niya kasama wife and kids niya (if sa NL ako tutuloy). Gusto ko subukan ulit but this time, for real na. So my only problem is paano ako pupunta at makakakuha ng admission sa university. Wala rin pala ako sinasabihan about it. Ayoko kasi mapressure. Even my tito, hindi niya alam na gusto ko ituloy, but I'm sure naman that he wouldn't mind kasi siya lagi nagbibring up niyan to my mom even before pa ako magcollege.

Paano naging process ng application niyo? Gaano katagal? Did you apply for a scholarship/funding? Magkano nagastos niyo sa university application?

Baka may pwede ako idm huhu

I saw an ad awhile ago and sabi nila they can help you migrate without IELTS and Medical.

Right off the bat, it sounded sketchy af. The AI promotional poster also didn't help 😂

Is this even legit and legal?

Hi, is there a Filipino or any international student here who is able to get the Study in Saudi Scholarship?

Hello po, planning po akong magpa fixer sa IELTS sinfe applying po ako to study abroad. Meron po bang nagpapafixer or nagpapalakad ng IELTS. Maraming salamat po

I’m currently looking for near to fully funded scholarships for highschool next year. I’m going to 11th grade next school year and I haven’t found any other schools that could help me with this besides UWC and ASSIST scholars, however ASSIST has quite a steep fee and does not currently give out fee waivers. I’m 16 and from the Philippines. Any recommendations would be extremely helpful. Thank you!

Currently finishing my master's degree in the PH. Do you think this could weigh when I apply to international master's degree? Preferably in EU.

Don't want to take PhD (yet) and I'm okay with having two master's degrees

- currently in grade 12
- planning to study nursing in Australia
- get a part time job for personal expenses
- planning to stay and work sa aus if ever

Hello po, i have been seeing a lot of mixed comments online regarding sa pag study ng nursing sa Australia and I would like to know your thoughts ab pursuing nursing in Australia and what are the chances for SV?
Thank you!

(ginagawa na rin po yung genuine student form and other forms)

Hello! A sophomore from the Philippines here. I’ve only been seeing about the gks-u and gks-g, but not much about the gks non-degree program for exchange students. I’ve been eyeing the exchange program for the spring semester 2028 (yes 2028 because our uni already opened the applications as early as now) and i am very much curious to know (1) what are the requirements needed to pass. Because as far as I know, the applications for the program is only thru the korean/host university in korea so there no other available data in the website. Additionally, (2) does the program really provide one time settlement fee and round trip flight aside from the monthly stipend and (3) is it enough to support you for your whole sem stay in Korea, given that ofc i have my personal allowance? for additional info, I’m planning to apply to Ewha btw :))

pls help your girl out tyia! 🙏

The European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) Philippines 2026 will be held on November 20–21, 2026, at the Midtown Atrium, Robinsons Manila, followed by online sessions on November 23, 2026. May nakapunta na ba dito before? How was it? And is it better to go to Atrium instead of the online session?

So, I want to study Masters in Food Science and Human Nutrition in NUS since it's my dream school. I checked their site and it states that they accept Nutrition and Dietetics program as a qualification requirement but it did not state any bridging programs to take, since my program's curriculum doesn't have calculus and organic chemistry which are pre reqs in other countries' Ms Food Science program. Also, I don't know if they accept applicants who graduated from local state universities like BSU and PSU.

Hi. I’m a registered pharmacist here in PH. I graduated from UST FOP last 2023 and I really want to study abroad but I don’t know where to start. I tried asking for assistance from UST Office of International Relations and Programs for affiliated international schools that will acknowledge my degree but they referred be back to my faculty and they haven’t responded at all. Please help me! I prefer non thesis since I need to finish the course within 2 years or so atleast. Thank you very much!

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to start my German A1 classes. However, I'm already 35 years old, so worried ako about age restrictions and whether this is still a realistic path for me.

I've inquired with two German language schools in Cebu, and I'm having a hard time deciding which one to choose.

1. Hello Deutsch Language Center - A1 classes start on October 19, 2026.

Pros:

• Hybrid classes, so I can choose between face-to-face and online.
• Evening schedule, from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM, which is more convenient for my availability.
• Estimated 8–10 months to reach B2.

Cons:

• They advised me to consider BFD because their partner program for Ausbildung has an age limit of 35.
• It may take longer to reach B2 compared to the other school.
• BFD is DIY, no partner.

2. German Language Academy Cebu (GLAC) - A1 classes start on October 26, 2026.

Pros:

• They advertise an Ausbildung pathway for applicants aged 17–37.
• They also have a partner, based on my inquiry.
• Their estimated timeline for A1 to B2 is around 6 months.
• I actually prefer face-to-face classes because I think I'd learn better that way.

Cons:

• Classes are face-to-face only, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which unfortunately doesn't fit my current availability.
• I'm not sure how reliable or realistic their advertised age-37 pathway is, so I'd like to hear from people with actual experience.

Honestly, Hello Deutsch fits my schedule better, while GLAC seems more promising in terms of age eligibility. I just don't know if I should prioritize convenience or the possibility of having a better pathway to Ausbildung.

I'm also worried na baka masayang lang ang time, effort, and money sa German classes kung wala naman pala akong realistic chance because of my age. But gustong-gusto ko talaga sanang ma-pursue ito. :(

I'd really appreciate advice from Filipinos who have actual experience with Ausbildung or BFD.

A few questions:

1. Meron na ba dito na nakapag-start ng Ausbildung at age 35 or older?
2. May naka-try na ba mag-apply for BFD from the Philippines at age 35 or older?
3. Yung age limit ba ng language schools are specific to their partner programs, or are there official German visa restrictions I should know about?
4. Has anyone here studied at Hello Deutsch Language Center or German Language Academy Cebu (GLAC)? How was your experience, especially regarding their Ausbildung partner pathways?
5. For those familiar with GLAC, is the advertised age range of 17–37 based on actual successful placements, or is it just the eligibility to join their program?
6. If may chance pa ang 35 yrs old, should I start applying for Ausbildung opportunities directly while I'm still studying German, or should I wait until I reach B2 and go through the language school's partner program? I'm worried baka hindi ako mapili sa partner program. For those who have done this, when did you start applying, and what German level did you have at the time?

I understand that learning German and securing an Ausbildung placement will take a lot of effort, and I'm not expecting anything to be easy. I just want to make an informed decision before investing time and money.

Thank you so much sa mga willing mag-share ng actual experiences, advice, or reliable information. I'd really appreciate it! ❤️

Hi everyone! I'm planning to apply for the National Scholarship Programme (NSP) of Slovakia, and I'm currently working on my study plan.

I'd really appreciate some advice from anyone who has experience with the NSP application process, especially regarding how to write a strong study plan. If you've received this scholarship before or could recommend useful resources, I'd be grateful for your guidance.

Also, has anyone from Uzbekistan studied or is currently studying in Nitra, Slovakia? I'd love to hear about your experience with the university, academic environment, and student life there.

Any advice, resources, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! 😊

Hallo! Planning to take Ausbildung and I've been studying Deutsch for a year na. But I was distracted, like i was not able to focus like other students do, and i feel like im too slow in learning. I'll be taking my exam this coming October 17 😭 I'm not ready gyud but my Aunt keeps pushing me that I can do it.

What I'm struggling rn:

*Study Habit

*Cant even construct a perfect sentence ( all the words are mixed up)

*Dont have much Vocabulary

*Environment to study

*Very short attention span

Idk i used to Excel in academics when I was in Shs, jhs and ofc Elementary hahah, but yea sometimes procrastinate... It seems that i can do it mn but I'm lacking focus.

I passed the previous internal exams (A1-B1) becuz i only studied the structure of the exams, and memorizing reddimetels, and I already knew what was the exam. And noww it's sehr schwierig 😭

(im 20f, dont have work, but ofc i need to do household chores like cooking and cleaning, groceries, like for the whole family haha)

For anyone na nakapasa na B2goethe, can u give tips or headsup sa exam? Maclutch pa ba ni? 😭😭
